“Creation of Next-Generation Photofunctional Molecular Systems”
Our laboratory explores new possibilities in organic photochemistry through the synthesis of novel compounds with advanced photofunctions. Our research is built on three pillars: the construction of advanced photofunctional molecular systems (Synthesis), the development of light-energy conversion functions (Function), and the development of environmentally benign organic photocatalytic reactions (Reaction).
Keywords: photofunctional molecules, light-energy conversion, organic photocatalysts
Research Topics
1. Development of organic n-type semiconductors based on perylene diimides
2. Development of organic photocatalysts that efficiently promote visible-light-sensitized reactions
3. Development of fluorescent dye molecules for metal-ion recognition
4. Development of light-driven energy conversion catalytic systems for hydrogen production
5. Development of energy-storage compounds with redox functions
